Mozart wrote several operas, the most famous being "The Marriage of
Figaro" , which is an "Opera Buffa" (Comic Opera) and made fun of
aristocracy and celebrated the commoners, but was BANNED in Austria. He also wrote "Don
Giovanni" and "Cosi Fan Tutte" and his most
popular opera for the masses, "The Magic Flute" - a fairy tale
with memorable melodies. The libretto for "The Magic Flute" was written by
Emanuel Schikaneder, who like Mozart was a "Freemason" (members
of a fraternal organization, who preached equality and "brotherhood".)
